Minimizing slavery is as offensive as minimizing the Holocaust. We should never do it, and we shouldn’t be OK with Florida doing it either. It is a disservice to our ancestors, a disservice to our children, and a disservice to our future. washingtonpost.com/nation/20…

Florida approves Black history standards decried as ‘step backward’

The updated standards include noting that enslaved people developed skills that “could be applied for their personal benefit.”

Well let's not scrutinize the entire state just because their governor has these radical racist ideas. He does not hold the opinion of floridians in general. Instead of Florida just say Desantis's ideas are racist and decisions are doing a disservice to the beautiful state.

I'm tired of hearing it either the Holocaust or slavery. People in the 21st century using events in the past as a tool for grift. Nobody today was a slave, and few experienced 1940s Germany. Everyone else is grifting.

And did you know ... trafficked children develop useful travel skills. Caged migrant children develop the ability to live in small eco-friendly spaces. Waiting for the TedTalk.
